My friend took this photo somewhere in the Rockies in Colorado.

He'd like to know if it's a Grizzly or a brown phase Black Bear.


Many Thanks,

Phil

Those black bear can get pretty big! They look even larger coming across one on its hind legs marking up a tree.

The most obvious reason being lack of a shoulder hump (which is an easily seen feature in Grizzly).

Nice cinnamon Black Bear.
